Analytics

Detecting a breach before it happens is the holy grail of security. Through behavior analytics, organizations can utilize user and device traffic patterns to detect a possible anomaly.

Lack of Network Visibility
Understand device traffic and determine future attacks 

Predicting when the next cyberattack will occur is near impossible. Security professionals are at a disadvantage without complete visibility of what users and their devices are on their network.

A Myriad of False-Positive Alerts
Wade past false-alerts and uncover what really matters 

Organizations are bombarded daily with thousands of alerts and left helpless in determining the next alert to prioritize and remediate.

Threat Protection for Zero Trust networks
Incidents Can Occur in Many Places 

Infrastructure sprawl, a blurred network perimeter, and heterogenous networks all add to the complexities of corporate device security.


Pulse Secure Zero-Trust Threat Protection

Pulse Secure provides enterprises with a zero-trust framework which assumes nothing inside or outside of enterprise perimeters is trusted and the network must verify anything and everything trying to connect to its systems before granting access.

#####EOF##### Securing Patient HIPAA Data, EHR Systems and Thwarting Ransomware

Securing Patient HIPAA Data, EHR Systems and Thwarting Ransomware While Empowering New Digital Initiatives

Health Care Organizations Are Top Targets for a Data Breach or Ransomware Attack


Health care organizations are one of the top targets for cyber attackers

41% of the total data breaches in 2017 were at health care companies. Health care also incurs the highest cost for data breaches compared to any other industry. The cost of a data breach plus the work to ensure HIPAA, PHI and even PCI DSS compliance continues to climb.

  • At the same time, organizations are pursuing expanded digital initiatives, including telemedicine; improved device and location access for medical staff to respond to issues or provide timely follow up; and more interactive and self-service patient care.
  • Unfortunately, 51% of health care companies have abandoned many of these initiatives because of various challenges--chiefly security concerns--according to analyst firm IDC. Still, IDC predicts that “driven by rising consumer expectations, 60% of healthcare providers will make optimizing the digital patient experience a top 3 strategic imperative by 2020.”
  • Health care organizations need to improve their ability to provide secure access for a greater variety of devices, including patient wearables and various monitors and diagnostics equipment. Such secure access must be able to accommodate different types of users according to their privileges by role in different locations. Organizations also need to protect data through rigorous access.


Providing Visibility and Secure Access

Pulse Secure Provides Health Care Organizations with Visibility and Secure Access

Pulse Secure provides a comprehensive way for health care organizations to secure their environments, protect patient data and comply with HIPAA and PHI regulations while pursuing new digital business initiatives. Our security framework controls access to the organization’s network, clinics and smaller campuses and cloud-based resources based on based on user, role, device, location, time, network and application, as well as endpoint security state. It extends limited internal visibility to full visibility across all users, locations, networks and devices and enables consistent security policies across constantly evolving infrastructure while eliminating blind spots and weak links in the potential attack surface.

Visibility of What’s on the Network

Health care organizations can use Pulse Profiler to automatically detect and continuously profile managed and agentless devices on various networks and resources.  With a single view of all devices connecting to all environments, the security team can monitor devices for profile changes, track device inventory for asset management and gather connectivity information for troubleshooting.  Profiler provided visibility, with threat reduction by Pulse Policy Secure, ensures that organizations are fully protected from malware attacks and detected threats are rapidly isolated and mitigated.

Granular Security Policies for any Use Case

#####EOF##### Pulse Secure For Multi Cloud Hybrid IT

Moving to the Cloud?  Don’t forget your VPN.

The primary product offering of AWS and Azure is space, processing power and bandwidth – not security.

Hybrid IT Breeds Complexity and Risk

For many organizations, multi-cloud has become the new normal, driving the use of multiple security silos for access.

Cloud and mobile create new risks

The growing adoption of cloud service such as Office 365 combined with increased use of mobile devices means companies must ensure that only authorized individuals are allowed access to avoid any kind of security breach. And with the cost of data breaches averaging $4M USD each – not including costs associated with brand reputation, compliance, and customer or end-user notifications – businesses must make certain access to the cloud is as secure as their data center  or risk regulatory and financial exposure.

Silos foster security gaps

The use of multiple point solutions to address access security within different computing environments frequently leaves gaps, limits visibility and yields inconsistent policies. In a 2017 report by ESG, 66% of cybersecurity and IT professionals agreed or strongly agreed that security analytics and operations effectiveness is limited because it is based upon multiple independent point tools.

Quick fixes frustrate users and administrators

Point solutions are a quick fix for IT teams that are pressured to rapidly introduce new services, often at the expense of their users or IT administrators. The use of multiple access platforms and their respective clients makes it hard to ensure that IT systems meet user requirements and expectations.

However, we recognized that to gain additional automation and optimize our application delivery, we needed a more powerful Application Delivery Controller. Our prior successful on-premise experience with Pulse Secure vADC made it the natural choice.”

Mark Studer, Director IT Operations

Enabling Rapid Secure Access to Applications While Reducing the Attack Surface

How can you enable remote and mobile workforce access to applications while simultaneously protecting your network?

New Workforce Mobility Access Challenges
Workers are demanding access to myriad applications in the data center and cloud from numerous BYOD devices. And, they want access from wherever they’re located – airports, hotels, and cafes.

An Increasingly Amorphous Perimeter
Today’s network perimeter is less and less defined. BYOD, IoT, cloud, virtualization, and mobility all combine to enhance productivity and access, but also enable data loss and leakage as well as possible malware penetration.

Seamless Application Access
Delivering wide-ranging secure application access isn’t easy. Users want quick access while you want secure, compliant, and performant access without a lot of management overhead.

Solution Icon White

Pulse SDP Enables a Secure Modern Workforce

CIO success today is based on worker enablement: giving users secure, frictionless access to resources regardless of the constraints of location, time, or device. Pulse SDP extends and enhances Pulse Secure’s Zero Trust capabilities by authenticating all users prior to accessing applications, restricting access to only specific applications by policy and rendering other resources “dark”, invisible to unauthorized users like threat actors and malware.

 

Enhanced User Experience
The user experience is seamless and friction-free because Pulse SDP provides an intuitive client for PC and mobile devices.

Cloud and Data Center Access
Protects and enables complete access for both multi-cloud and data center applications via certificate-based SSO.

Increased Compliance
Increases compliance by checking the security state of every device that attempts a connection and access policies can be fine-tuned accordingly.

Pulse SDP Architecture

Pulse Secure provides the only dual-mode VPN and SDP solution. Pulse SDP™ enables employees and guests to quickly access the applications and resources they need, while administrators can define detailed policy rules that govern exactly which applications users can access.

Pulse SDP Delivers Provisioning Simplicity, Scale, and Superior Economics for Hybrid IT and Multi-Cloud

  • Access Ease: Pulse unified clients can also function as intelligent SDP clients to provide a consistent user experience across all access. Access to cloud applications, like Salesforce or Office 365, is quick, direct and efficient — no VPN is established, reducing network bandwidth and traffic.
  • Extensive Multi-factor Authentication and Authorization Options: Ensures users, their devices and the applications they access are continuously verified before and during the transaction.
  • Access Responsiveness: Separate data and control planes to ensure scalability with proprietary Optimal Gateway Selector™ technology to expedite application delivery.
  • Reduced Attack Surface: By providing per-application network segmentation and direct access to applications, the attack surface is further reduced in the data center or cloud.
  • Uniform Policy Management: Enables consistently provisioned secure connections that increase usability and security while reducing configuration errors, policy drift, and gateway sprawl.
  • Dual-mode VPN and SDP Architecture
    Pulse Secure provides enterprises with a single pane of glass management and operational visibility across public cloud, private cloud, and data center.
  • Built on Pulse Secure Zero Trust: Pulse SDP™ takes advantage of the Zero Trust capabilities provided in the Secure Access platform.

Delivering Flexible Secure Access for Today’s Modern Workforce

Pulse SDP streamlines and secures access to applications, likely the most critical aspect of delivering business effectiveness, continuity, and growth.  Whether you’re trying to seamlessly enable secure access for your mobile workforce, or faced with migrating applications to the cloud, Pulse SDP enables your company’s digital transformation.

Per-application Segmentation in Data Center & Private Cloud
Pulse SDP offers today’s modern businesses the ability to tightly control access to applications regardless of location.  Further, Pulse SDP enables administrators to specify access on a per-application basis.  And with Pulse SDP’s “dark cloud” feature, unauthorized users won’t even see these resources, reducing the threat surface and lateral malware spread.

Privileged and 3rd Party Access to Applications from Anywhere
With increased workforce mobility and 3rd party access, the rapid influx of IoT into the enterprise, security risks have increased.

What Our Customers Say

icon

“Despite industry suggestions about VPN replacement, SDP is not a panacea for all applications and hybrid IT infrastructure as enterprises migrate to the cloud. While deployments can offer comparatively simple, secure connectivity, SDP projects tend to be based on specific use cases and projects. VPN and SDP will likely co-exist for a while, so organizations need to keep an eye on joint usability, management and costs."

Introduction

“When most people think of convenience stores, the first name that pops into their heads is usually 7-Eleven. That’s probably because the Dallas, Texas-based chain operates, franchises, or licenses more than 7,600 stores in North America, making it the largest in the convenience retailing industry. Globally, 7-Eleven has an additional 35,000 stores in 16 countries, making it a ubiquitous part of many people’s lives, whether they are stopping in for a Slurpee, Big Gulp, coffee, or something from the store’s wide range of fresh food offerings. 7-Eleven stores worldwide generated total sales close to $63 billion in 2010.” Defining the convenience store category, 7-Eleven has the daily challenge of offering hundreds of different products in their stores while maintaining fresh stock inventory. 7-Eleven’s latest step in providing customers what they want is item-by-item management.

“We are looking hard at what sells in stores,” says Eric Walters, network manager at 7-Eleven. “The success of our business transformation effort means greater collaboration between our franchisees and corporate headquarters. Using item-by-item management, rather than a replenishment model, allows our franchisees to limit the write-off for fresh food and increase sales and profitability.”

7-Eleven has long been an innovator in retail information systems. The company’s point of-sale touch-screen system includes integrated product scanning as well as credit, debit, and stored value card authorization. Managers use wireless handhelds to order products on a daily basis, and their ordering decisions are supported by 5 day weather forecasts, merchandise promotions, and historical sales information. Store managers can make delivery adjustments, verify orders, and perform write-offs on their handhelds. Back-office functions, such as sales and cash reporting and payroll, are connected directly to the company’s centralized accounting system.

Challenge

7-Eleven has been a Juniper Networks and Pulse Secure customer for more than a decade, and when it came time to refresh the company’s in-store security and network infrastructure, Juniper Networks and Pulse Secure rose to the top of the list of preferred vendors. “We’ve had a very long and very valuable relationship with Pulse Secure,” says Walters.

“One of the key aspects of the relationship with Juniper Networks and Pulse Secure is their ability to listen to what the customer needs,” says Walters. “We have helped influence some of the evolution of the products and features that we as well as other customers would see as a benefit.”

SOLUTIONS

The joint Juniper Networks and Pulse Secure solution keeps 7-Eleven operating around the clock. At its stores, corporate headquarters, and regional offices, 7-Eleven uses Juniper Networks SRX210 Services Gateway, EX2200 Ethernet Switch, J2350 Services Router, and Pulse Secure Appliances and Services.

7-Eleven is upgrading more than 7,000 stores from the joint Juniper Networks and Pulse Secure firewall/VPNs to the SRX210 Services Gateway. It is also deploying SRX210 gateways in new stores as part of its expansion in Canada. Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways are high-performance security, routing, and network solutions. SRX Series gateways are based on Juniper Networks Junos® operating system, Juniper Networks proven OS which delivers security and advanced protection, rich routing capabilities, and reliable service operations.

The company uses Juniper Networks EX2200 line of Ethernet switches to connect its point-of-sale system, back-office computer, and digital signage in the stores In-store Wi-Fi connectivity is provided by Juniper Networks AX411 Wireless LAN Access Point—a dual-band, dual-radio 802.11n access point. AX411 access points are combined with and managed by the SRX Series for category leading security.

7-Eleven also uses Pulse Secure solutions at its corporate headquarters and regional offices. 7-Eleven uses Pulse Secure Policy Secure to reduce the company’s exposure from insider threats and mitigate risks. Policy Secure protects 7-Eleven’s mission critical applications and sensitive data by identity enabling network security and providing network access control, visibility, and monitoring. With Policy Secure, 7-Eleven can provide secure wireless LAN guest access at its corporate headquarters. In addition, the retailer uses Pulse Secure Odyssey Access Client to perform 802.1X authentication and workstation compliance checking.

Thousands of 7-Eleven’s employees use Pulse Secure Clients for secure remote access to key applications such as e-mail, finance, and ERP, from any standard Web browser. Pulse Secure Appliances deliver best-in-class performance, scalability, and redundancy for secure remote access and authorization.

RESULTS

7-Eleven’s new network allows the company to hone store operations. Managers use wireless handhelds to quickly identify what needs to be restocked—down to the item—and place the order while still on the floor. “Store managers can place an order by 10:00 a.m. and the product will show up by 5:00 a.m. the next morning,” Walters says. “The franchisees use a constant ordering process seven days a week, and the network is always available to support that business priority.”

The Pulse Secure Policy network gives 7-Eleven the security, scalability, and ease of management that it needs to efficiently operate globally. 7-Eleven can consistently enforce its security policies across all store locations, while accommodating variations in store operations such as whether the location sells gasoline. “The solution we have put in place allows us to secure everything within the store,” says Walters. “We feel confident that the solution, the environment in the store, and the connectivity to the store is adequately protected.”

The Juniper Networks infrastructure and Pulse Secure solution provides the strong security that 7-Eleven needs to consolidate multiple services on the same network, including customer transactions, store operations, and in-store digital display advertising. It also enables compliance with Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS).

“The vision was that we needed network separation as everything becomes Wi-Fi enabled,” Walters says. “We can use the SRX Series platforms to provide that isolation. If we did not do that, we would have had to make a massive investment to put a firewall in every store to support PCI as fully as we do today. Without the Juniper Networks SRX Series Services Gateways, it becomes much more difficult.”

Securing Data While Encouraging Employee BYOD Productivity

What is the best method of ensuring data security while keeping employee-owned data private when implementing BYOD?

New data leakage challenges
Using enterprise apps on employee-owned devices creates new data leakage and connectivity challenges for CISOs and IT departments alike.  Unless connectivity and activity are secured, data can be lost or stolen.

Complex MDM integration
Mobile security solutions rely on native security enforcement, displacing current network security solutions with unproven security gateways.

Barriers to Adoption
Application choice can be limited by solutions that modify them via SDKs or wrappers to ensure security.  Restricting device choice can reduce worker productivity and enthusiasm for BYOD, while mandating a prescriptive usage policy is another barrier to adoption.

Solution Icon White

Introduction

Ensuring the right balance of security while maintaining flexible access to network and application resources is an essential requirement for utility providers. Within such a highly regulated and nationally critical environment, best practices dictate a constant cycle of security review and strengthening to meet an increasingly potent threat posed by cyber criminals. For stretched IT departments, Pulse Secure’s Secure Access solutions are designed to solve the challenges of access control, SSL VPN, mobile device management, and IoT security, using a unified and highly integrated policy driven platform.

Challenge

Entegrus brings electricity, renewable energy and water services to 60,000 customers in Canada’s southwestern Ontario region, while keeping safety, reliability and efficiency top-of-mind.

The company’s subsidiary highly focused on electrical distribution, Entegrus Powerlines, provides safe, sustainable and reliable power to Entegrus customers in the communities of Chatham-Kent, St Thomas, Strathroy, Mount Brydges, Parkhill, Dutton and Newbury. The company provides billing services, meter reading, customer service support for billing and account queries, and a 24/7 automated and online service to access account balances and payment history.

Reliable and secure IT is a critical component in the delivery of its energy and data services but can become a challenge for the 5-person IT team charged with covering three primary sites, several large customer sites that have embedded IT systems plus an increasingly mobile workforce – across an area spanning 2300 Sq miles. As Dave Cullen, Manager of Information Systems for Entegrus explains, “Getting to some of our sites is often a three-hour round trip drive which means security and connectivity are a vital requirement for our staff and teams. As a critical utility, we need to ensure that our systems are protected to the highest levels at all times.”

SOLUTIONS

Entegrus has always maintained philosophy to adhere to best practice security guidance as defined by standards such as NERC and NIST. As a result, Cullen and his team have regular review sessions that evaluate current security posture along with assessing potential process changes and new technologies that can further strengthen its position.

“The threat landscape is continually evolving, forcing us to always consider how we can go one step further,” says Cullen. “With a widely distributed IT infrastructure, we considered Network Access Control as an effective way to improve our security posture without dramatically altering how we operate.”

The 2018 merger of Entegrus and St. Thomas Energy also highlights a wave of consolidation within the sector which also has security implications. “We needed to make sure that our secure access technologies could adapt to both new regulatory requirements as well as business drivers like the recent merger which grew our customer base by around a third plus adding 28 more staff members.”

"Entegrus has a long-standing relationship with Pulse Secure. The level of integration between the SSL and NAC and the extended feature set made it a straightforward choice for us,” says Cullen.

Cullen highlights a number of benefits including a simplified method of managing complex policies and user access rights plus an enforceable method of checking end-point devices to ensure that only properly patched operating systems are able to connect to the network. In addition, the tight integration with its existing Juniper estate makes provisioning of SSL based VLANs a simple and scalable policy driven process.

“Perhaps the two most important things are that we have increased our security posture and for the most part, there has been zero impact on our end users,” explains Cullen.

RESULTS

The upgrade uses high-performance Pulse Secure appliance series running Pulse Policy Secure. Each purpose-built appliance provides Entegrus with a single point of convergence for managing the secure network connectivity and access challenges across its fixed and mobile workforce. In conjunction with the Pulse Secure Client, the Pulse Secure Appliances lower OPEX and CAPEX by reducing the number of appliances and servers needed to deliver and control secure network access regardless of a user’s location or device.

Cullen and his team use Pulse Policy Secure to automate the device validation and access rights as part of an integrated connectivity process deployed to all users and remotely managed devices.

#####EOF##### SDP Overview - Pulse Secure

Software Defined Perimeter Access for Hybrid IT 

The Best Secure Access Approach is Evolutionary not Revolutionary

Next Generation Access Architecture for Protecting Application Infrastructure 

Digital transformation is here.  The migration of applications to the cloud coupled with anywhere access from a myriad of devices has increased the threat surface, and made enterprises more vulnerable to advanced attacks on the application infrastructure.

Traditional security perimeters have shifted and organizations must be able to extend dynamic, on-demand application access to users without compromising security or user experience.  By enabling secure “verified” user and device access to only authorized applications, Pulse Software Defined Perimeter helps customers reduce their exposure to advanced threats, while simplifying connectivity and improving experience.

  • The attack surface is reduced through per-application network segmentation and direct access to authorized applications.
  • Extensive multi-factor authentication and authorization ensures that users, their devices, and the applications they access are continuously verified.
  • Enterprises benefit from improved access responsiveness and application security.

Pulse Secure’s evolutionary approach to deploying Software Defined Perimeter helps customers to invest to expand as needed, and accelerate their digital transformation while protecting their existing investments

Read how Ovum assesses connectivity protection, visibility, and threat response across mobile, network, and cloud.

Pulse SDP

Pulse SDP is a Zero Trust secure access architecture for today’s modern application infrastructure.  It enables direct, secure access to individual applications and requires users and their devices to be verified before access is allowed. The result is an enhanced security profile, better device compliance, and an improved user experience while defending against modern security threats and lateral malware spread.

Pulse One (Controller)

Pulse One plays the role of an SDP Controller, providing centralized authentication and policy management.  Pulse One centrally controls policies and publishes them to the gateways. Pulse One is also responsible for centrally authenticating users and then forwarding them to the appropriate gateways based on the application or resource the user is trying to access.  

Pulse Client

A single, unified client gives users SDP, VPN, and NAC access for a simple and easy user experience that is consistent across operating systems for increased productivity and reduced help desk calls. 

Pulse SDP – How it Works

SDPOverview D1

Pulse SDP separates the control and data planes to increase scalability and application responsiveness, and to control access through centralized policy distribution and governance.

Bring your systems together. Find and address issues faster.


Is Your Secure Access Solution Costing You Money?

Companies that contain a breach in less than 30 days saved over $1 million verses those that take longer

Security alerts are overwhelming IT

Companies are experiencing an increasing number of hacker attacks – every 39 seconds on average. This number continues to climb, producing a myriad of alerts and leaving incidents uninvestigated.

Disparate security tools slow response

Manual security incident response processes are inefficient and prevent security teams from responding quickly. Integrated security systems improve efficiency, reduce alert logs, and improve incident response time.

Lack of context limits decisions

According to a recent Ponemon study, 55 percent of security alerts received by enterprises are erroneous and unreliable. Use of behavior analytics based on data from user and devices provides rich context and helps prioritize incidents, freeing SecOps engineers to address and resolve incidents.

Problem Icon White

Complex Applications Need Dynamic Protection

Today’s complex applications are prime targets for hackers, and your application and security teams can find it difficult to resolve application vulnerabilities in today’s dynamic IT environment.

Evolving AppSec
What’s next? New attack vectors are emerging all the time, and as your application evolves, so too do the potential vulnerabilities which become exposed. It can take longer to fix security vulnerabilities once identified, and in some cases it may prove prohibitively expensive to locate the error, create the patch, and deploy the fix.

Blunt Tools
How can you reduce false positives? Traditional application security tools focus on detection of malicious activity using inflexible rules, which can lead to many false positives. You need more flexibility in the response to each type of activity, and the ability to tune individual policies for each part of the application.

Long Exposure Window
How long does it take to close critical vulnerabilities? Your developers are under pressure to meet deadlines and secure customer data, and software vendors are often unable to provide patches quick enough to meet your campaign deadlines and product release cycles.

Solution Icon White

#####EOF##### Network And Cloud Visiblity | Pulse Secure

Worried about security breaches?

Visibility is the first step to prevention.

Visibility delivers contextual security data, including user role, device type, and application used.


What’s on your network?

Only 10% of organizations are fully aware of what’s connected to their corporate network. Not knowing is a serious flaw in any security strategy.

Networks are increasingly under attack.  The 2017 Annual Cybercrime Report from Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that cybercrime will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. With new cyber threats and data leakage in the headlines on a regular basis, security breaches have reached crisis proportions.

Cloud and mobile create new risks.  The growing adoption of cloud service such as Office 365 combined with increased use of mobile devices means companies must ensure that only authorized individuals are allowed access to avoid any kind of security breach. And with the cost of data breaches  averaging $4M USD each – not including costs associated with brand reputation, compliance, and customer or end-user notifications – businesses must make certain access to the cloud is as secure as their data center  or risk regulatory and financial exposure.

More “things” are connecting to networks.  IoT is exploding with printers, IP-phones, smart TVs, personal WiFi, security cameras, sensors, and other peripheral devices becoming commonplace in enterprise offices and can be easily connected to the corporate network. The security of these systems, from changing default passwords to installing patches, is often an afterthought at best – leaving most IoT devices vulnerable to attack and misuse. Typically, organizations are unaware of these devices, and the myriad ways they are connecting to their internal systems and data.


Pulse Secure puts IT in the know

Deploy Pulse Profiler to detect and profile managed, susceptible and unknown devices that connect to your corporate network, including mobile devices and laptops that access cloud services such as Office 365, Box and Salesforce.

  • Automate Discovery: Pulse Profiler automatically discovers and classifies managed devices and unmanaged devices (e.g. printers, VOIP phones, IP cameras and IoT devices) that are connecting to the data center and cloud.
  • Track Behavior: Profiler enhances security for managed and unmanaged devices with behavioral analytics that utilize user and device traffic patterns to detect compromised devices.
  • Respond in Real Time: Profiler visibility is the first step to real-time prevention and automated response to threats that are the result of insider activity, privilege misuse, non-compliant and unsanctioned devices and device loss.

#####EOF##### Securing Manufacturing Companies From IP Theft, IIoT Hijacking & More

Securing Manufacturing Companies From IP Theft, Factory Disruption, Robotic Manipulation and IIoT Hijacking

The smart factory floor is boosting productivity with greater automation, IIoT data and globalized supply chains but with it comes cyber risk.

Manufacturing companies face challenges from two directions.

First, cybersecurity threats continue to escalate in number, severity and complexity.  In August 2018 the world’s largest semiconductor company, TSMC, was hit with a ransomware infection that halted production in multiple factories, crippled materials handling systems and production equipment. The cost of damage was an estimated $255 million.

A significant percentage of manufacturing companies, including European steel conglomerate ThyssenKrupp, have been victims of stolen intellectual property, totaling billions of dollars.

Sabotage remains a serious threat that could yield horrific results including loss of life. Additionally, robotic production equipment has proven vulnerable to attacks of self-destruction or damage to finished goods.

Second, manufacturers are quickly embracing IoT and IIoT to advance Six Sigma initiatives and collect valuable data.  The use of automation and robotics in smart factories is accelerating production and reducing costs. Supply chains continue to become more globalized, with greater integration of partner or supplier systems. All of these trends make the smart factory more vulnerable to security gaps and attacks.

Pulse Secure Provides IT and OT with Visibility and Access

Securing Educational Organizations From Data Breach or Manipulation While Enabling Greater and More Secure Access With New Digital Learning Initiatives

Educational Organizations Must Protect Educators, Students, Devices, Networks, Apps, Cloud Resources in Increasingly More Complex Environments with Escalating Cyber Threats


Can you rely on your data center access security?

Educational organizations are a top target for cyberattacks. It is the third most common area of focus for hackers and cybercriminals, behind financial and health care institutions. EDUCAUSE named information security as the top IT issue of the year for the fourth year in a row for schools.

  • Data breach leading to theft or compromise of personally identifying information (PII)
  • Network-wide ransomware attack
  • Financial theft from unauthorized access

The problem is getting worse. The number of lost, stolen or compromised student data records went up 164% in the first six months of 2017 compared to the last half of 2016, Campus Technology reports. Schools struggle with meeting Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) by keeping all endpoints up-to-date with host-checker.

Education institutions have offered attackers little resistance to identity and financial theft. At the same time, organizations are embracing new digital learning initiatives, including personalized learning, learning management systems, virtual classrooms, mobile learning, augmented/virtual reality, further use of cloud resources and have to cater to students who are always on the leading edge of new—and often non-secure—computer resources.

Educational organizations need to offer broad access, accommodate an ever-widening variety of devices and deal with numerous networks, highly distributed computing environments, new apps and various cloud-based assets. Key to such diverse challenges is the ability to have secure access with consistent  and appropriate security policies across all users, devices, applications, networks and locations.

Protect your data center in a zero-trust world

Pulse Secure Provides Educational Organizations with Visibility and Secure Access

Pulse Secure provides a comprehensive way for schools and educational organizations to secure their environments while accommodating constantly changing dynamics as well as pursuing new digital learning initiatives. Our security framework controls access to the central office network, individual schools and on-prem or cloud-data centers based on based on user, role, device, location, time, network and application, as well as endpoint security state. It extends limited internal visibility to full visibility across all users, locations, networks and devices and enables consistent security policies across constantly evolving infrastructure while eliminating blind spots and weak links in the potential attack surface.

Granular Security Policies for any Use Case

Educational organizations can implement a policy-driven “comply-to-connect” strategy that controls access to resources and services, based on device type and health, domain, locations, resources, users and groups. Pulse Policy Secure NAC strengthens network security posture with capabilities that include endpoint vulnerability assessments, device posture checks and alert integration with next generation firewalls for speedy mitigation.

Secure Access Regardless of Location, Device or User

Employees and students can use the Pulse Client to securely access necessary resources remotely via the Pulse Connect Secure VPN, or locally via the school’s WiFi network.  Pulse Policy Secure authenticates employees and students locally based on their role and desired resource, automatically provisioning firewalls without manual intervention to provide remote access and immediately access proper resources.

Pulse Profiler

Pulse Profiler gives teams full visibility of their financial services environments by automatically discovering and classifying managed and unmanaged devices on the networks. It ensures the highest possible security posture by continuously re-evaluating device profiles, based on DHCP and other fingerprinting methods, to detect and report device profile changes such as MAC address modification.

Pulse Policy Secure

Pulse Policy Secure protects networks and locations from cyber intrusion.  This powerful, context-aware policy engine applies granular policies to control access based on user, role, device, location, time, network and application. This comprehensive solution also enables guest access for partners, endpoint on-boarding and customer-facing applications, including compromised device segregation.

Pulse Connect Secure

Pulse Connect Secure provides fast, secure VPN access to the company resources enabling faster response to customer and business issues and needs.  Connect Secure works seamlessly with Pulse Policy Secure, leveraging the same user client, centralized management console and policy framework.

Pulse Client

Pulse Client gives technicians easy, secure access to networks and resources to speed problem resolution. The Pulse Client provides users with a single, intuitive way to securely connect remotely via VPN or locally via WiFi. Hidden to the user are a number of features that make access frictionless, such as the dynamic provisioning of remote users sessions to branch or headquarters firewalls via IF-MAPS to eliminate additional login prompts.

IoT Best Practices Guide

White Paper Overview

IT organizations have been undergoing a fundamental shift in the types of devices they have to support that have been connecting to the network in the past decade. The days are long gone when IT staff had to support only desktops and laptops. Mobile BYOD devices represented the first wave of devices to change the status quo in terms of opening up the network beyond corporate owned devices.

IoT devices are the new wave of devices that are connecting to enterprise networks. While these devices bring with them ease of use and management along with monitoring capabilities by virtue of being IP enabled, they also present unique challenges for enterprise security teams. Previously adopted security practices have to be relooked at to mitigate risk and ensure compliance to policies in light of the changing threat landscape.

The increased attack surface is proving to be a new vector of attack that hackers are using to gain access into other parts of the network through lateral movement.

Problem Icon White

Secure access to cloud platforms like Office 365, Salesforce, and Dropbox

Enterprises need to secure access for mobile workforces while boosting productivity and compliance

Friction-free user experience
Security should not be a barrier, and workers should not have to care where their apps are coming from.  Access should be seamless and transparent.

Simplified, secure hybrid IT access
Blending secure access across applications deployed in data centers, public, and private clouds should be simple, not a complex exercise is administration and interoperation.

Increased Compliance
As applications become increasingly dispersed, ensuring that the devices accessing data are compliant is critical in preventing data breaches and malware spread.

  • Ensure security compliance for computers, smartphones and tablets using Host Checker
  • Enable data protection/isolation with on-demand connectivity

Access Both Cloud and Data Center Resources

FEATURES BENEFITS
Single Sign-On Cloud Secure supports SAML based SSO which allows preauthenticated users to access resources without entering credentials again for applications which are accessed
Compliance Cloud Secure leverages Pulse Secure’s host checking capabilities in desktops and MDM device attributes in mobile devices to give best in class compliance posture assessment capabilities and allows for varying levels of access based on device compliance and well as user-based information.
Certificate Authentication Certificate authentication eliminates the need for users to provide credentials manually every time On-demand VPN is triggered.
On-demand VPN & Location-based VPN Automatic VPN connections based on location through Pulse client in Desktops and through on-demand VPN support in mobile devices eliminates users triggering manual VPN connections.
Split Tunneling Cloud Secure eliminates data center hair pinning (also known as back hauling) by optionally only sending authentication, authorization, and compliance check traffic to PCS and sending application data directly to the cloud.
Role-based Access Control RBAC allows access to resources based on the roles assigned to users
Compliance failure notification Cloud Secure supports notifications for Compliance failure scenarios. A remediation notification helps notify end users about the reason of failure and the necessary steps to get the device into a compliant state.
Extensible Identity Management Cloud Secure integrates well with Third-Party Identity Providers to support existing customer deployments that have already implemented these Identity management solutions.
On-premise Cloud access Cloud Secure supports SSO for on-premise users authenticated to Pulse Policy Secure (PPS). This is done by sharing session information from PPS to PCS through IF-MAP federation and removes the need to establish a VPN tunnel directly to PCS.

Securing Technology Companies and Service Providers From Cyber Theft of Intellectual Property and Network Intruders

Despite Strong Perimeter Security, Companies Must Shore Up Secure Access On-premise and in the Cloud to Mitigate Cyber Threats


Is Your Secure Access Solution Costing You Money?

Companies that contain a breach in less than 30 days saved over $1 million verses those that take longer

Security alerts are overwhelming IT

Companies are experiencing an increasing number of hacker attacks – every 39 seconds on average. This number continues to climb, producing a myriad of alerts and leaving incidents uninvestigated.

Disparate security tools slow response

Manual security incident response processes are inefficient and prevent security teams from responding quickly. Integrated security systems improve efficiency, reduce alert logs, and improve incident response time.

Lack of context limits decisions

According to a recent Ponemon study, 55 percent of security alerts received by enterprises are erroneous and unreliable. Use of behavior analytics based on data from user and devices provides rich context and helps prioritize incidents, freeing SecOps engineers to address and resolve incidents.

#####EOF##### Data Center Access Security | Pulse Seure

Access your most sensitive resources – securely – in the data center

If it’s sensitive data, legacy applications, or critical resources, we’ve got you secured, protected, and encrypted


Can you rely on your data center access security?

With new cyber threats and data leakage in the headlines on a regular basis, security breaches have reached crisis proportions. All of this is an indicator that all enterprises must adopt a zero-trust security model.

Authenticate users

Granting access comes hand-in-hand with authenticating users.  Making sure that users – and their devices – are fully vetted before and during the connection is mandatory for today’s enterprises.  The health of the device – its operating system version, whether it has the latest patches, assessing whether malware is present – must be determined along with finalizing the user’s identity.  Integrating with SAML for single sign-on further secures connections and streamlines the user experience.

Ensure appropriate access

Your resources are precious to your business.  You want to enable access to the right resources for the right people, but you want to restrict access for others. Role-based access policies authorize access to your data and applications based on the user’s job.  Additionally, enabling and disabling access for contractors and partners should be as simple as doing so for your full-time personnel.

Reduce data loss and leakage

Hardware failures, human error, malware and ransomware, unauthorized BYOD and mobile device loss are just some of the threats facing enterprises today.  Ensuring that users who access sensitive resources are compliant with security policies is critical.  You want to make sure devices are checked before and during connections and that your workforce adheres to a “comply-to-connect” agreement.

Protect your data center in a zero-trust world

In a “zero-trust” world, Secure Access ensures that only authenticated users with compliant devices can connect to authorized applications and information at any time, from any location, over any network.

Assuring access policies and privileges

Granting access to users is easy.  Ensuring that they have access only to the resources they’re entitled to is more difficult.  Pulse Secure simplifies this process with group policy definitions to restrict access to users, devices, or applications.  And, we go further with endpoint security compliance checking to make sure the devices accessing applications and resources aren’t jailbroken or rooted and infected with malware.

Deep authentication

Simple usernames and passwords are no longer secure in today’s sophisticated malware environment.  Pulse Secure’s multi-factor authentication (MFA) coupled with single sign-on (SSO) with SAML ensures that users are fully authenticated and authorized.  Using hardware tokens, soft tokens, one-time passwords, and certificates, Pulse Secure also seamlessly integrates with strong authentication and identity access management (IAM) platforms.

Preventing Data Loss and Leakage

Pulse Secure’s Zero Trust approach to security means that users and their devices are checked and authenticated prior to – and during – the connection.  Moreover, policies govern access to resources, making sure that users only have access to authorized resources.  And, the transaction itself is encrypted, preventing threat actors from accessing credentials or accessing sensitive data from man-in-the-middle attacks.  Zero Trust significantly increases the chance that information residing in the data center stays secure.

Pulse Connect Secure

Pulse Connect Secure is the industry’s leading secure access solution.  Over 20,000 customers trust Pulse Secure to protect access for over 18 million endpoints.  It blends simple, secure access for data centers and cloud with security compliance for endpoints.

Pulse Access Suites

Whether you only require secure access to the data center, or you have a globally distributed workforce that needs access to applications in the cloud and multiple data centers, Pulse Secure has you covered.  We offer solutions that include cloud-based management, detailed network visibility, network access control, IoT integration and more.

#####EOF##### Secure Access for the Federal Government

Secure Access for the Federal Government

Pulse Secure has a long history with US agencies to secure networks, meet compliance mandates, and boost productivity


What’s on your network?

We understand the pressures that providing Secure Access to the nation's critical IT infrastructure can bring

  • Compliance Pressure - Agencies are under pressure to comply with NIST 800-53 access control requirements
  • System Exposures - Existing safeguards, such as Cisco ACS, have entered end-of-life phases
  • Coordinated Action - Need to leverage existing infrastructure and systems to automate prevention and informed response
  • Limited Resources - Budgets are constrained, and experienced security personnel are scarce


Pulse Secure puts IT in the know

End-to-end Access Protection for Civilian, Intelligence, and Department of Defense Agencies

  • Meet compliance mandates for 802.1x (IEEE), Layer 2 Switch STIGs, Comply to Connect, and NIST 800-53 AC Controls
  • Secure the complex and expanding Internet of Things (IoT)
  • Maximize ROI and lower TCO through interoperability with existing network and security infrastructure

Pulse Cloud Secure

Pulse Cloud Secure is designed to security provide workers anytime, anywhere access to Hybrid IT and SaaS environments.  Out-of-the-box features like SSO and MFA eliminate the need for multiple passwords and provides automatic access to applications and services.

Pulse Policy Secure

Pulse Policy Secure protects networks and locations from cyber intrusion and prevents attackers from gaining access to patient records and billing information.  This powerful, context-aware policy engine applies granular policies to control access based on user, role, device, location, time, network and application. This comprehensive solution also enables guest access for labs, universities or other specialists, including compromised device segregation.

A Robust Solution for NIST 800-53 Requirements

Government IT organizations must demonstrate and maintain compliance with a large and growing number of regulations and standards governing network access control (NAC) and remote access. For over a dozen years, Pulse Secure has been helping federal civilian, intelligence, and Department of Defense (DOD) agencies do exactly that – swiftly, seamlessly, and costeffectively.

The Pulse Secure solution provides a holistic solution for local and remote access based on user and device identity. Administrators configure contextual access policies on Pulse Connect Secure to control VPN access to the data center based on devices, locations, resources, users and groups, or even endpoint profiling. Pulse Policy Secure with the Pulse Profiler extends policies to internal networks, allowing organization to identify, profile, secure and manage internal devices while also providing NAC policies for enforcement by a growing ecosystem of third party security solutions. Pulse One provides centralized management and reporting to provide complete visibility and meet the needs of the most stringent compliance environments.

How It Works

Pulse Policy Secure, our high-performing and scalable NAC policy server, is founded on robust industry standards, including 802.1x and RADIUS. It secures your network by:

  • Guarding mission-critical applications and sensitive data
  • Providing user and device identity information for granular security enforcement by next-generation firewalls, access points, switches, and other interoperable platforms
  • Delivering comprehensive NAC management, profiling, and monitoring for visibility of user and Internet of Things (IoT) devices

 

  • Supplying granular, identity, and role-enabled access control from remote locations to the data center
  • Addressing network access control challenges such as inside threats, guest access control, and regulatory compliance

 

Government Diagram

DISA’s STIGs (Layer 2 Switch, WLAN Authentication Server Security) and 802.1x Mandates

When it comes to meeting mandated authentication requirements such as the DISA’s Layer 2 Switch STIG, which mandates enabling 802.1x authentication, your agency may have faced the problem that most vendors want to sell a comprehensive – and expensive – solution that would entail replacing your existing systems and equipment: systems and equipment that involved a significant investment and which you do not want to retire at this time.

At Pulse Secure, we are vendor agnostic. Our AAA/RADIUS authentication server, which enables 802.1x authentication perfectly, integrates seamlessly with your existing infrastructure via open standards. This integration allows you to keep your current systems in place, accelerating your time to value by lowering your overall total cost of ownership (TCO) and maximizing your return on investment (ROI).

Additionally, with Pulse Secure’s RADIUS solution, you don’t have to enable 802.1x connectivity through complex, multi-tiered solutions requiring significant network redesign. Connectivity is enabled via existing capabilities on your endpoints, such as PCs, phones, and servers, in conjunction with settings enabled in your existing network switch or wireless access point. Everything then flows through the RADIUS server to ensure compliant authentication.

Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is here – and it is expanding at lightspeed. IoT devices require network access but have software updates and configuration settings established by the manufacturer that limit the ability to harden the device. The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has stated that IoT brings “multiple opportunities for malicious actors to manipulate the flow of information to and from network connected devices.” DHS further advocates that agencies define network access controls to limit IoT devices to specific ports and to structure network permissions related to the IoT device’s use.

Pulse Secure supports government IoT initiatives by combining device profiling with role-based access controls to define appropriate use polices. Pulse Profiler, founded on the RADIUS server, assesses each IoT device in terms of its role and rights: that is, what the device is, what it should be doing, and where it should be connecting. For example, a video camera should only connect to its video console. If it starts making connections elsewhere in the network, that raises a red flag. Profiling, therefore, provides network access control for the IoT.

Additionally, Pulse Policy Secure automatically detects and classifies IoT devices and puts them into the administratively-defined IoT network. The solution also offers sponsor-based IoT device access where the sponsor can approve or deny IoT devices based on corporate policies. If Pulse Policy Secure detects a changed IoT profile or a compromised IoT device, it will automatically take enforcement actions to put devices into quarantine or into an isolated network.

Comply to Connect

Comply to Connect demands that any endpoint be vetted against established security requirements prior to connecting to your agency’s network. Some vendors enable Comply to Connect in an agentless mode. At Pulse Secure, we recommend the implementation of a Pulse Secure agent for government agencies aligning with Comply to Connect directives. The following table shows the top three reasons for this recommendation.

Agentless Solution Pulse Secure Agent Solution
Agentless solutions allow you to inspect endpoints from a distance before permitting or disallowing the device from connecting to the network. However, for the agentless solution to work, the device has to get Layer 3 access via an IP address. Therefore, you have given potentially non-compliant devices access to your network during the very process of vetting the device. With a Pulse Secure agent, an IP address is never given. The device never gets a full connection to the network during the validation cycle. Comply to Connect validations are performed at Layer 2 without requiring that the device access the network.
Agentless solutions poll the network on a regular cycle to check security measures. But, if someone starts disabling security protections at the beginning of a cycle, a lot of damage can be done before the next polling cycle begins and the danger is identified. The Pulse Secure agent is always on and performs continuous monitoring. Any changes to security measures are caught in real-time, strengthening your network’s security posture.
Agentless solutions can only inspect endpoints at a distance by using WMI protocols across the network. This is cause for concern, as WMI protocols can allow intruders to automate malicious activities – out of the question for high-security federal organizations. The Pulse Secure agent eliminates the need for the potentially risky WMI protocol being used.
